Love the way he provokes opponent's fans or rather than provoke, react to the stick in his own way

A man for all seasons

Great penalty, decent in the first-half but simply wasn't the player we needed in the second-half.

As were many of our other players.

But it wouldn't seem weird to have spoken about them in this thread wouldn't it?

The reason I mentioned him is that we were poor in midfield, and we needed someone who could put their foot on the ball and calm everyone down. We needed a bit of leadership and experience in the middle of the park.

Frankie is my kind of player & has been for years. Just one class act, I feel.

Most likely, it´ll be the saddest day in my life to see him saying goodbye, then.

Frank's leadership and experience is exactly what made us see the game out. You cannot blame the second half performance on Frank alone. The whole team was poor, not just Lampard.

This is exactly why people say you have it in for Lamps, I haven't seen you for example go on the Mata thread and complain about how he was sloppy etc. when the team needed him to keep it simple? It's unfair to just pick on Lamps.

Frankie might be sloppy for 20 minutes but he is still my kind of player.

Since Frankie is up there close to 35 year-old we can not expect him to be running around for 90 minutes, I feel.

How about replacement subbed him ? The question, who is sitting on the bench to give him a bit of rest ?

Well, no matter how hard I looked lately, I still do not see anyone. Perhaps, Rafa brings Malouda on tonight ?

I thought it was the defence, in particular Cahill, that saw the game out.

In my defence, I did criticise Ramires as well (despite his MOTM performance) and said that they were both responsible for the problems that came from midfield.

Puyol will be 37 when his contract expires with Barca, why can't we give Lamps a 2 years deal??

Because something happened behind the scenes that we dont know about.... whether its what happened with AVB or something else.... we wont know......

Hope everybody who wants him to sign a new contract was watching yesterday. Another year of Lampard is definitely not what this team needs.

I can't remember the last time I saw Frank so ineffective in two games - not just ineffective, but completely 'passed-by'. It's not his fault, I just don't think he's cut out for the double-pivot.

I hate to say it because he's been so important for us for so long, but he's almost becoming a liability in that position especially with Ramires alongside him. They're struggling to impose themselves against teams who offer a threat in that area. If we're playing with our backs to the walls then it could work but I don't think anyone wants to see us doing that for extended periods.
